Answer:

<h2>6√2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔEBD and ΔEDC are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{DE}{EB}=\dfrac{EC}{DE}

We have:

DE = a

EB = 18

EC = 4

Substitute:

\dfrac{a}{18}=\dfrac{4}{a}            <em>cross multiply</em>

(a)(a)=(18)(4)\\\\a^2=72\to a=\sqrt{72}\\\\a=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\a=6\sqrt2
